I sent this to a close friend who grew up in a critical home and thus learned and believes that compliments should be “earned” through feats of amazing-ness and that constant critiques are how you show love.”

Thanks for bragging about your action of spite, there.

“One small note: if a significant other said “I like the way you eat peas” to me, he would immediately be pulled into the bedroom for sexy-smooshy-time.”

Oh, wow! How blessed he would surely be!

“I’d hate my boyfriend to feel like every compliment to me had to be logical and specific.”

Yeah! Screw logic and specifics, right?

Mon, 15 Dec 2014 20:49:00 +0000http://artofmanliness.com/?p=29366#comment-1135391Very good article, I like the emphasis on the psychology of this topic. One thing to elaborate on, it’s often best to give a person a compliment directly; specifically in a service job. I have on a few occations complimented a server/employee to a manager, and often appreciated. However, I once approached a manager at a grocery store when two clerks went way out of their way to help me on a matter, and he almost scoffed at me and said, “Well that is there job.” So assuredly they never realized they were appreciated, and who knows how many of the others were or were not either.

Tue, 21 Oct 2014 17:25:00 +0000http://artofmanliness.com/?p=29366#comment-1108498I’m quite generous when it comes to offering compliments (genuine, of course). But I’ve often observed that the ones (usually females) I compliment don’t seem to really care – they don’t even smile or say “Thank You”! Of course, I do know the difference between complimenting and flirting. But this is something I find very weird and it makes me wonder if I should really offer any compliments at all…

I think that helps them to develop their self-confidence. That article may also be helpful to some of you http://hardquotes.com/life-motivation/words-of-encouragement-step-towards-stronger-mindset

I stumbled upon this site via a LifeHacker article regarding Benjamin Franklin’s virtues and I have decided I will frequently read your content! In fact, I love it all so much, I subscribed! ;) I’m impressed with the correct grammar, well-organized, and eloquently articulated content. Too few strive to encourage *true* manliness, so thank you for spurring us on!
